They are not stupid; they understand the difference between 21 and 28% corporate tax rate because they pay that.

They also understand the difference—and this is very important—of un-taxing unrealized capital gains. That I can assure you was a lightning bolt through that constituency. Every small investor in these people, this is what I do: I'm an advocate for small business in America. That freaked them out.

They thought that was un-American. They thought that wasn't really the American dream—to have the government take money from you before you've realized anything. It was a real shocker.

But that really affected the psyche of the American small business family, and it cost her a lot.
